CVE-2024-35878

MEDIUM

Linux Kernel < 6.6.26, 6.7.0-6.8.5, >=6.9 - NULL Pointer Dereference in of_modalias()

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: of: module: prevent NULL pointer dereference in vsnprintf() In of_modalias(), we can get passed the str and len parameters which would cause a kernel oops in vsnprintf() since it only allows passing a NULL ptr when the length is also 0. Also, we need to filter out the negative values of the len parameter as these will result in a really huge buffer since snprintf() takes size_t parameter while ours is ssize_t... Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static analysis tool.
